Taxi Sign is a little smaller than I thought... almost mouse pad size, looked weird on the door looks better where it is.

Thought the halfmoon crome headlight covers added a cool look to the bug.

Sometimes I feel bad passing people walking on the streets... but you can't trust people nowadays.  :D That's the most common asked question, "Is it a real taxi"? I'm thinking to myself why would anyone chose to use a VW Beetle as an actual taxi.

Cause they're $3000 new.
They're rugged as hell.
They cost 2cents to operate
Maintenance is simple

Need more?

I'll bet a Mexican VW taxi gets 3 times the life of a NY Crown Vic
